The only way that would be true in mine would be if it were Km.

I haven't really had the opportunity to pull the hubs since I got it back. It's starting to warm up here (finally) and I'm hot to build a storage building so I can store stuff I'm currently storing in the back of the deuce (like the spare engine that's taking up a significant amount of the...

According to the literature AAA does not cover a vehicle the size of a deuce. However... I have used AAA twice for my deuce. Both times when the AAA operator asked what kind of vehicle I answered and just didn't go into much detail. I said it was an American General truck, year: 1971. I...

Unfortunately, time is not the problem, opportunity is. Finding a place that is safe to jack the wheels and work on the truck in today's litigious and insurance society is the challenge.

If you put 46" tires on it, 15% bigger than the stock 40" tires, then it will go 15% faster which brings the top speed from ~55 mph to ~62mph. You'll also get slightly better mpg (mine went from 8 to 9). If your plan is to turn this into anything other than what it is, then you can throw all...

I have one of those, they know the truck and I've had them do some work on it. However, as the brakes were smoking/dragging I didn't want to go too far and was hoping a local commercial truck shop could simply adjust the brakes.

I got the distinct impression that they didn't know what they were doing when I first spoke to them during the work. I sent them the TM and a youtube link explaining how to adjust the brakes after my first conversation with them. I suspect that they might have then taken the wheels off, but I...

Recently flipped the hubs in the rear with a friend, though really I was the one helping him as he's a professional car mechanic. While we were at it, we cleaned everything up, put in new grease and checked the brakes, putting in new seals, etc. On one side, the center (#2) axle, oil had...

I'm sensing a lot of hostility towards public service employees in this thread. Many are constrained by their software. They see thousands upon thousands of the same type of vehicles every day and after 5 years at the same job someone comes in with a 45 year old MV and you expect them to know...

I have a m35a2 that I've taken on trips and one of the best things about it is sleeping (I pitch a tent to keep out bugs) under a canopy in the back. While you can do this with a pickup, I think a cargo truck offers more room and security as the bed is at least 4 feet off the ground and not as...

Keep in mind, if you live in a development with HOA (Home Owner's Association) rules, you're SoL if they already prohibit these items. You could always try appealing, but there are plenty of nightmares out there in the news to show how (un)successful this usually is.

A tree limb took off the top of the stack and I had a newer, taller one installed. It's just shy of 11 feet. I chose that height because I eventually plan on putting a S-280 on the back which will bring the height to a little over 11 feet. Also started flipping the rear hubs. Me and a...

So, I'm looking at some https://www.easternsurplus.net/PartDetails/4697/Cab-Insulation-Kit and the price is right, but it's in a wooden crate and would cost $300 to ship to me. Probably still worth it, but I'm on a budget (who isn't?). I thought I'd post here and maybe catch someone moving...

Drove 550 miles (round trip) and picked up a spare engine with the deuce of course. Price was good so I figured what the ****.

I also don't do facebook, not interested in helping their shareholders. Besides, I'm pretty sure there's a board here...

I just flipped the switch, while stopped and drove. Keep in mind who would be expected to drive the truck in the first place. If there's not a warning plaque about it somewhere, it's probably gonna be bulletproof.

I've driven up and down I-5 completely across the state twice now and no cop's ever stopped me for anything about the truck. I don't know about the bumper height, it doesn't seem too high to me and I've lifted mine an additional 3 inches by putting on 46" tires. Unless you're planning on using...

As this old thread was bumped thought I'd mention about chains for super singles. They weigh 100 pounds per tire, at least the ones from the military do. 22 recently came up for sale, and it was take all and I decided to pass mostly because I didn't have the room to store them. I imagine...

Thought I'd throw this out there... On Monday 9/4 I'm heading from Bellingham to Yakima area, and back on Tues. If anyone needs anything transported to Yakima or picked up there/back, I have approximately 8' x 8' of truck space available. On the return trip, I'll have about half that.

Bought a Donaldson 70050 and had it installed: The effect of the muffler is noticeable, I have a D turbo and you could before speak loudly in the cab and be heard now you can almost do it at a normal speaking voice, at least at idle. Most of the noise now is engine noise. Later that day I...
